Apple Cider Pancakes

My daughter was given a small bottle of pure Maple syrup by her friend, Allison, who visited Vermont.  She didn’t want to use it on just any old “ordinary” pancakes.  Allison also loves to cook and has some really great ideas, so my daughter asked if she had an especially good recipe for pancakes.  She recommended these Apple Cider Pancakes.  They sounded awesome and we were anxious to try it.

We love purchasing apple cider this time of year because it reminds us of the cool crisp weather in Pennsylvania, visiting the apple orchards, or picking out our Christmas tree.  Apple Cider Pancakes sounded like a real seasonal breakfast treat!  

Here’s the Recipe:

• 2 cups flour all-purpose flour (White Lily if at all possible)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 tbsp cinnamon (yes, tablespoon)
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

*The original recipe called for more nutmeg but I prefer less*

In a large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients

Set aside

Add egg, melted butter, vanilla and apple cider

Mix well, adjusting cider for desired thickness of batter

Mix cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar in a small bowl and add to batter

Stir just until blended

Ladle batter onto hot griddle

Flip when small bubbles start to form

Top with butter and drizzle with caramel sauce or maple syrup

They were a BIG hit with everyone!  These would make a wonderful addition to our Christmas morning breakfast.

Thanks Allison for the Apple Cider Pancake recipe!
